Generic fighter types need to be rated

[djday45]

Hi guys,
I have a small problem, with the ratiing I am doing for the early 1900's fighters packs I often find that many of an fighters worst opponents (those that only have 1 or less than a dozen fights in boxrec) are really impossible to rate with any accuracy.

So I have been sticking to those fighters who i could actually rate with any sense of accuracy.
But this leaves a big gap in my universe as I dont have nearly enough fighters in the 1-3 rating bracket.
Use the Tomato Can pacls I hear you cry? well that is an option and for some truly awful fighters that would be fine. But I find on average the Tomato Cans to be SO bad that it does not serve my purpose.

I want genuine 1's with maybe a few scattered 2-3 to fill out my universe's bottom rungs.

So I thought what if i create generic "types" based on a named description with the rating trying to relflect that specific "type"

I could then just choose one of the types when I am attempting to rate a guy with no solid info change the name and slot in the personal details like division, country and career length and way we go.

When I mean named types I am thinking about boxer types like the following

Punching Bag
Tough Bleeder
Awkward
Spoiler
Dangerous Puncher
Southpaw
Inside Brawler
Good Counterpuncher
Fights his Heart Out
Glass Jaw
Well Schooled
Face First Slugger

You get the picture. So my question is this would people mind giving me a few ideas for names of types? and I will start rating them. Once we are finished I will provide the pack to cornerwork and on here. And it should provide a good half way house between the named fighters and the Tomato Cans.

Very good idea, Dean.

Besides all those tomato cans at Cornerwork, there are also 1467 low rated fictionnal fighters. Amongst them, 762 1-rated fighters (no TCs), 307 2-rated ones and 210 3-rated ones. But, anyway, I hope you will create your generic guys.

Pierre, I did not realise their were so many low rated fictional fighters already created. Thinking again I will use your suggestion as there is no need to reinvent the wheel when you guys have laready done the hard work.

From now on when I post a career pack it will include EVERY opponent of that fighter. For guys with very low numbers of fights recorded I will use a ficitional fighter and just change his peronal details. I will usually give them a 5 year carreer if listed as shorter than that.

Once again Pierre and others thansk for making it so much easier for me.
